Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77967, member: 636"] Activist Charles Kajoloweka just turned down a government board seat. He runs an organization called Youth and Society. Kajoloweka said joining the Technical, Entrepreneurial and Vocational Education and Training Authority board would create a conflict. He worried it could hurt his group's independent watchdog role. He sent a letter about it to the Chief Secretary, Justin Saidi. Kajoloweka thanked them for the offer but said his principles made him refuse. This is not his first rejection either, having passed on a National Youth Council spot before. The state had named him and others like Chair Gilbert Chilinde to lead dozens of public bodies recently.
